🐟Mullet🐟

Mullet are high in protein, fat, micro/macro nutrients, vitamins, and omega-3. They are low in mercury and are a hardy and healthy fish. These fish are very common in the gulf coast and can be purchased year around, but it is cheapest to stock up when they are in season. They usually range between 1/2 lb to 2 lbs each, making them a perfect size meal for a medium to large dog. Finger mullet can also be purchased as a whole fish option for small dogs and puppies, although they are usually more pricey and are seasonal. Mullet are an excellent addition to your dog's diet. They can help strengthen the immune system, support joints, and improve heart, skin and brain health. As always, it is recommended to freeze wild caught fish for 3 weeks to kill potential parasites.

Ground beef is a great meat to start with as many dogs love the taste and texture. For those that don't, it's easy to lightly cook until your dog adjusts. After a few days of eating muscle meat only, add an organ. If your dog tolerates...
